Photini 14.08.1

“Metadata” is said to mean “data about data”.
In the context of digital photographs this means information that isn’t essential in order to display the image, but tells you something about it.
For example a title and description of the scene or the date & time and the GPS coordinates of the camera’s position when the picture was taken.

“It doesn’t try to be an all-singing, all-dancing image management powerhouse - it just lets you add information to photos, quickly and easily.”

New!

An all-in-one installer for Windows is available on Google Drive.
The installer creates a standalone installation of Python, Photini and all its dependencies.
The penalty for this is that it’s a 48MByte download.

Features

Easy to use graphical interface.

Set photo title, description, keywords, copyright and creator fields.

Can set metadata for multiple images simultaneously.

Can adjust picture date & time.

Reads EXIF, IPTC and XMP metadata, writes all three to maximise compatibility with other software.

For details of how to download and install these, please see the documentation.

Photini should be a cross-platform application - do let me know if you try it on Windows or MacOS.

Warning

This program is still under development.
It is already usable but, like all other software, it has bugs.
Before using it be sure to back up all your photographs (you do this anyway, right?) as I can’t guarantee you won’t accidentally damage them.
